London, United Kingdom CDP Full time

Who we are

CDP is a global non-profit that runs the world’s environmental disclosure system for investors, companies, cities and governments to assess their impact and take urgent action to build a truly sustainable economy.

We must act urgently to prevent catastrophic climate change and the irreversible loss of nature and habitats. That starts by being aware of our impact so that investors, companies, cities and governments can make the right choices now.

Job purpose and background

Are you passionate about the importance of clear and compelling copy in driving action? Is bringing a brand to life through language and tone of voice, and supporting others to do the same, second nature to you? In this position within CDP’s newly-formed content studio, you will be responsible for ensuring our copy embodies the brand and is consistently engaging and powerful; while also overseeing CDP’s approach to translation to reach our broad audience base around the world.

Experienced at managing and governing copy in a global organisation, you will drive the language and translation strategy to ensure all our audiences can engage with CDP and our mission.

Key responsibilities

  • Own CDP’s style guide and tone of voice; demonstrating best practice application and supporting colleagues across the organization to use both effectively.
  • Provide copywriting training, tailored to CDP’s verbal brand identity, tone of voice, and key subject matter, to colleagues across the organization.
  • Evolve CDP’s style guide and key messaging to cover all core languages and markets.
  • Write marketing copy for key materials across multiple platforms; combining creativity with meticulous attention to detail.
  • Work with colleagues in the Marketing Performance and Enablement team to test messaging and formats and continually iterate and improve our marketing activity.
  • Build and manage CDP’s approach to copy-editing and proof-reading to ensure all of our output is high-quality, on brand, and speaks with a consistent voice.
  • Build, manage and iterate CDP’s language strategy, working with colleagues across M&C and globally, to ensure we have a clear and cohesive approach to translation and localization.  
  • Establish and maintain processes for checking and approving translation, increasing our ability to deliver accurate materials in core languages with speed and agility.
  • Work with colleagues, including the designers and videographer, to take a holistic approach to the development and implementation of creative ideas.

Required skills and experience

  • Proven copywriting experience.
  • Ability to translate complex data into a compelling narrative that reflects key messages.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to translate complex information into clear, compelling copy.
  • Keen attention to detail.
  • Excellent proofreading skills.
  • Experience of working in a global organization and managing translation projects and initiatives.
  • Understanding of the key trends and challenges in translation.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to develop and nurture relationships both internally and externally, including complex multi-stakeholder relationships.

This is a full-time permanent role based at CDP’s London office reporting to the Associate Director, Content Studio and Brand Management.

Salary and benefits: £37,643 per annum, 30 days’ holiday, generous non-contributory pension provision, life assurance and others.
